  1. woohoo! can't wait, new player class, raised level cap, 15 hours of content? sweet.
  2. This lens is so strong, it can see into the past, around the curvature of the universe and into the future!
  3. that wilhelm scream. done to death (get it? done to DEATH) and pulls me right out of the movie.
  4. these boots have (magnets, little rockets, whatever) to simulate gravity
  5. ah, and each one of those compartments holds a different gun...
  6. It's probably just because of their winter break. Japan never had a strong Christian influence, so christmas isn't actually that big of a deal, but their New Years break (right around christmas through Jan 1st) is huge.
  7. If you do this, you'll be just as bad as them!
  8. I'm captain/admiral Katherine Janeway...
  9. if we tech while the sun is tech, then we can go back in time!
  10. well, we called our insurance agent about it and he wouldn't even write a policy on it because of the location, then another company said it was a "manual inspection only"... so that kind of put up warning flags. Would have cost over 2k a year in just flood insurance, on top of normal home owners insurance.
  11. yeah, but better to be disappointed then stuck with a lemon for 20 years waiting for it to appreciate enough so you can sell it and not lose money.
  12. on that note, I hate needless sci-fying words... "hydro-spanner". Really? In the future you can't just say "hose" anymore?
  13. we almost got the house but found out it was in a high risk flood zone.
  14. the one nitpick I have with the ending is when the Galactica jumps out from the uber cylon base, shouldn't the jump have ripped the thing in half or something? Considering how a little raptor jumping next to the galactica nearly tore her apart.
  15. It's not just that there wasn't enough free content, the whole thing was poorly thought out. It's just a weak, gimped version of 2nd Life and by the time Home was released, 2nd Life was already fizzling out.
  16. okay, that one isn't bad, but the bird thing, the cat thing, those are hideous
  17. remember all the hype? How it was going to change the way we interact with consoles, how it would double or tripple PS3 sales? what a joke. Anyways, for sure try Monsters... it will change your life!
  18. Really? I thought the toys looked horrible.
  19. I don't think you're clear as to what retcon means. If your definition holds, then everytime a show or movie reveals something new about a character, it's a retcon. No, that's just a reveal. A retcon has to contradict something that's explicitly stated and/or shown to be true. Just because the final 5 talk about their pasts doesn't make those pasts true. And whether or not the writers intended from day 1 for them to be such doesn't make it a retcon either. If we actually SEE a young Saul fighting off cylons and other people say, "yeah, I was there with him, he was badass" and then in season 4 it suddenly didn't happen... THEN it's a retcon. None of those things are contradicted by the explanation that they were placed in colonial society and given false memories, nothing is shown that proves their pre-reveal histories to be "true" in the same way we see Bill Adama's life as a fighter pilot, as a child, etc. Other characters share those experiences. Nothing in the show, ever, shows saul before he and adama are a bunch of washups which is where their personal history begins. THAT is why it's not a retcon, it doesn't contradict or change anything. and I never said there weren't "any" retcons, just that the cylons and their count are not retcons. Actual retcons would be like the base star redesigns in the middle of the show.
  20. that's not a retcon either. We never see him in any flashback going back farther than when he and bill are washed up drunks. None of these things are retcons, at best they're red herrings. again, with wolverine, we're actually SHOWN the cybernetic implants that house his claws, we actually SEE batman with a bat-gatling gun firing like a madman off of a roof. Then one day, those things didn't happen, that's a retcon.
  21. they still do that for thomas the train toys. My kid studys that little fold out like some people study the bible
